Well, let's start with a lie.This portfolio of Sasha Golyanova was not shot in Russia, but in Bali, Indonesia. In my defense, the subject here Nikita Avdeev ( & the photographer ) is from Russia and it's enough to justify the title.

Let’s start again…Nikita, is a young prodigy supported by Anker company, the first surf related brand from Russia. So, you see? the title says everything. Need to say more ?

If I had to hate someone for an unfair reason, it would be Lucas Werner for sure. At just 19 years old, he is everything I love about skateboarding, art and photography : A mix between innocence and arrogance. Far away from the hype, and so close to the soul.

Here Lucas shares with us some captured moments from his latest trip to Japan with a friend of his, and the result is... unfair. enjoy.

Sometimes early morning doesn’t look the same. Every stars are perfectly align, and the sun is ready to rise. It was one of this morning, when I was lucky to share the first light with the RVCA women team - Jess Bouvier, Margaux Arramon-Tucoo and Emilie Libier .

It was only few waves, only few hours, but sometimes it's enough to keep the summer alive.

"Thanks to Tudor Watches, This year I was able to shoot the Wheels & Waves, in Biarritz / France . Here a recap of what o have seen, and waht I have feel. See you next year Vincent & all the people I met there. " S.Zanella

Young and uprising director Gabriel Novis, followed Desillusion creator Sebastien Zanella, through his journey across USA earlier this year. They discuss about everything but mostly we discover who is the man behind Desillusion .

"The desert is our troubled state. It is the dwelling place of our demons. This is a land of illusions and thin air, the vision is so cleared at times that the truth itself is deceptive." —John C. Van Dyke, The Desert, 1901

"I grew up on Vancouver Island (Canada) and now live on its western shores in Tofino. I admire the power of the area and the effect it has on the people who call this place home. I, however, am not quite ready to do the same. I still love to travel and experience beauty in all its worldly forms. That’s probably why I’m not comfortable labelling myself. I take photos of surfing, but I’m not just a surf photographer. I draw inspiration from other fields into my work in the hope of it not becoming labelled. Whether it’s people, places or passions, I want simple descriptions like “surf photo” or “nature shot” to fall short. I think that’s when my work becomes art."

"I am Friedjof, 29, skateboarding photographer living in Hanover, Germany.Skateboarding, photography and travelling are playing a prominent role in my life.All these things clear the way for my daily routine and create space for creativity.Through photography I am able to communicate without actually talking which I personally really like.Enough said. Let the photos speak for themselves."

"Seven pictures with seven different perspective : Skaters & countries but they all have some things in common, the same deep passion, the one that keep us motivated to go explore and push ourself more & more everyday.No matter who you are or what’s your style, we just keep going and pushing for the same reason….love of Skateboarding.

Art is blue. That passion flowing among the waves. Equilibrium. Harmony. A break from the routine. You, on your own. Nature’s fury maintains its infinite beauty. A feeling that is manifested in aesthetic and attractive forms. A continuous pursuit for beauty. Contemplation, the pleasure of a spirit that penetrates in Nature. A way to transmit emotion; a language. A way of life. Everything goes, changes and remains. Art is timeless.

I didn´t expect it to hit me this hard. Since I moved to this land of fjords and mountains and unforgiving coldwater surfing a long time ago, there has never been any looking back. But Norway is not always easy on you. The ocean decides. You will never tame it. It will spit you out and leave you shivering for a long time. But you keep coming back for more.I don´t want to come in for a quick visit, or even a long visit. I don´t want to write postcards from here. After the first time I came here I knew I had to live here. So I live here. And my photographs are my postcards in a way. But I do believe that the most important moments are the ones between the photographs you take, and I feel that living somewhere extraordinary like on the rugged westcoast of Norway, gives me the energy and inspiration to venture out and search for situations where nature works the man in a way.It´s good to be worked every now and then. It keeps you young. Or at least it keeps you from growing old.

My name is Liam Crivellaro. I am an artist/photographer from Massachusetts.A few of the images below were shot while on a road trip across the United States of America, others from my home (Cape Cod, Massachusetts) and some in California. All together creating a body of work that I feel represents me.

I'm Alex, a 22 years old film documentary director and photographer in the making. I bought my first camera with my first salary when I was younger and then I started to shoot the only thing which gave me inspiration : nature. I come from the south west of France, so it's easy for me to spend the most of my time between oceans and moutains meeting peoples who live in. My work is to tell thoses people's stories. I founded a collective (Barrel Vision) during my studies with friends who share the same inspirations with me.

I'm 24 years old guy from a small city called Zakopane in mountains in Poland. Now based in Warsaw. I started my adventure whith photography about 3 years ago, and now i cant imagine my life without it. My passion turned into job which i really love. Being a professional skier and skateboarder for years now gave me i think unique vision of the world which i can express as subjective intrepretation of reality.

Kamil Rozwadowski aka Lenny Valentino, in my opinion a true skateboarder, always carrying his atribute.Travelling and dedicating his whole life to this piece of wood. Lenny comes from east side of Poland and is 25 years old. We have met at some skate contest.after moving in to Warsaw, we are spending a lot of time together on skateboard. Lenny is also a model with some model agency in Warsaw, so we decided to do some project in Paris.

We have spent there a week doing some funny stuff, travelling the city all around by skateboards and just having a good time chilling.
